    Are the Kings and Atlanta the only team left with cap space?

    I do really want to keep Randle, I mean look at him here, dude is becoming more of a beast every offseason. I don’t care about sticking it to Mintz, I just want Randle on a reasonable deal, he was a key part of a lot of the wins we DID have last season.

    I'd be ecstatic if he fired Mintz right about now.

    Sure looks like it and Kings don't need another PF now that they have Marvin Bagley III

    I cant see Julius having many suitors at this point.

    Let's try to dump Deng. Try to sign LeBron. Give our leftover cash to Cousins. And then let's give Julius a solid pay check.

    I'm curious what other combination of players we could actually sign with the money having all dried up. It could be VERY interesting. Guys like Brook Lopez don't seem to have a whole lot of options right now.

    Bulls even though they have the room to go after Randle doesn't make a whole lot of sense because they have Lauri and Wendall who they drafted.

    I think real has been on the ball with that for a long time now. Room exception here with us because he liked being a Laker and back in Cali, and would be very nice next to LeBron.

    Kings, Hawks, Bulls

    Both the Kings and Bulls with their front courts don't really need a PF.

    If you lock this guy down on a $12-14 million dollar deal for multiple years, you are getting a great value.

    So it boils down to ATL. It'd be great if we can #DumpDeng over there.

    I'm honestly wondering why we havent heard anything abiut any meetings Randle has lined up. Does nobody want him?

    Nobody can afford him.

    He's restricted, and with teams having little to no cap room, they don't have time to waste hoping to get a restricted FA

    Just to add to this too:

    This also plays into why we've seen so many players sign deals as quickly as possible because they know the money is drying up quickly. FA's can't wait for Lebron this year.

    Knowing we'll likely match whatever they can dish out too
